This experience, in a nutshell

Our starting point will be the port of Nettuno, once settled on board we will set sail and reach the archipelago of the Pontine Islands (31 miles from Nettuno) with a few hours of navigation which is in my opinion one of the most evocative and enchanting in the whole Mediterranean. 


We will sail to discover Palmarola and Ponza, two beautiful islands with landscapes that will leave you speechless!


In the evening we will choose whether to moor in the roadstead or dock at the port. One evening it is recommended to dock at the port of Ponza to enjoy the island's nightlife.


We will leave for Nettuno on the last day around 1 pm.

Photonics Experience!! Postcard coves, sea of unexpected beauty and fascinating islands. Captain Enrico is in love with these places and transmits it to all his guests, always making himself available, with courtesy and professionalism. The [hidden] boat was an unexpected surprise in terms of size, comfort, stability and cleanliness but above all: it is beautiful!!! Until next time!

A long weekend of sea and freedom from Argentario to Elba

Per il ponte del 1 maggio 2025 siamo stati a bordo di [hidden] per una minicrociera di 4 giorni. La barca è molto bella, elegante ma estremamente funzionale e curata, comoda e con molte dotazioni. I bagni riservati nelle singole cabine sono stati per noi un dettaglio importante, come gli ampi spazi anche all’interno. L’atmosfera da subito è stata accogliente e simpatica grazie ad Enrico che si è dimostrato per tutta la vacanza uno skipper straordinario sia per le sue doti tecniche che come persona. Tonia, la compagna di Enrico, ha completato la splendida atmosfera respirata sulla barca con la sua simpatia, empatia e accoglienza. Il gruppo quindi si è amalgamato in modo molto speciale. Un meteo favorevole ci ha permesso di svolgere il programma previsto: Argentario, isola del Giglio ed Isola D’Elba. Enrico, con la sua esperienza ha organizzato le tratte in modo sicuro, considerando venti e correnti. E’ stato molto bravo a coinvolgerci in tutte le fasi della navigazione, a secondo dei livelli di conoscenza e di interesse individuali. Mia moglie ed io consigliamo vivamente un’esperienza con Enrico e Tonia, che con tutti i loro racconti ci hanno lasciato una grande voglia di tornare su [hidden] e di visitare tanti altri luoghi.

Per il ponte del 1 maggio 25 io e Paola siamo stati sulla barca di Enrico per una mini crociera di 4 giorni tra Argentario, Isola d'Elba e Isola del Giglio. È stata una esperienza davvero molto piacevole e divertente. Enrico è un vero marinaio con grande esperienza e professionalità, e si è sempre dimostrato cortese e disponibile. Ovviamente in grado di governare la barca in totale autonomia, ci ha comunque coinvolto in alcune operazioni più basilari, adatte a noi che non sappiamo neanche fare un semplice nodo! Grazie al vento che non è mancato siamo riusciti a fare molta vela.. il modo migliore per godersi il mare, la pace e la natura. Altra nota di merito va alla barca ([hidden]), una delle barche a vela più confortevoli su cui siamo stati finora, con molto spazio ovunque sia all'interno interno che all'esterno. Pozzetto molto ampio e comodo. Dinette spaziosissima e altrettanto confortevole. Bagni riservati nelle singole cabine con wc elettrico, una vera rarità in barca a vela. Tonia, compagna di Enrico, è stata un altrettanto piacevole regalo: simpatia, cortesia e accoglienza ai massimi livelli. Una compagna di viaggio eccezionale. La loro accoglienza e il loro calore ci ha fatto sentire a casa nostra sin dal primo momento. Che dire.. la ricetta perfetta per una esperienza di puro relax, mare, vento e natura. Chiunque ami il mare dovrebbe provare la barca a vela almeno una volta, e ci sentiamo di consigliare Enrico e Tonia senza nessun dubbio. Speriamo di rivederci presto per rivedere [hidden], Enrico e Tonia in qualche altro angolo di mare (Ponza, arriviamo!).

A weekend in the best anchorages of the Mediterranean: the Pontine Islands

I spent a fantastic weekend sailing in Ponza and Palmarola with Enrico and Tonia, and it was an unforgettable experience. Enrico is an exceptional skipper, always attentive and competent, who explained various stories and anecdotes about the Pontine Islands during the navigation and chose enchanting coves both in Ponza and Palmarola to stop for a swim. Tonia, his partner, was just as extraordinary: her sympathy and warmth made the experience (first sailing holiday for me) even more enjoyable. In addition, the boat was really beautiful, impeccably maintained and comfortable, making the experience even more enjoyable. The welcome and professionalism of Enrico and Tonia are truly unbeatable. They were incredibly helpful in arranging every detail of the holiday, responding promptly to all my questions and requests. Thanks to them, I experienced moments of relaxation and pure fun that I will hardly forget. Can't wait to come back for another adventure! Naomi
